Lyrics
Nothing to talk about
Expressing a lack of significant topics for discussion.
Promise not to listen
Committing to not paying attention or heeding certain things.
Unconscious whereabouts
Being unaware of one's location or circumstances.
Subliminal incision
Referring to a subtle and hidden influence or impact.
Nothing to care about
Stating there's nothing of significance to be concerned about.
Don’t want you worrying
Discouraging someone from worrying or caring.
But turns out
Contrasting the earlier claim as it becomes evident that people are paying attention.
Everyone’s listening
Highlighting the widespread attention and scrutiny.
Stay inside, shut the doors, stop speaking
Encouraging isolation and silence to avoid surveillance.
Listen in till their ears are bleeding
Suggesting constant monitoring to the point of discomfort.
Information that we’re leaking
Referring to the release of sensitive information.
Turn it down
Advising to lower the volume or intensity.
In reality they’ll never let us be alone
Expressing the impossibility of true privacy.
Stand back and you will see that everything’s a microphone
Implying that everything is potentially a surveillance device.
Watching you wondering
Observing and speculating on someone's thoughts.
If I can hear you think
Highlighting the invasive nature of constant monitoring.
Imagine forgetting that
Imagining a scenario where intentional connection leads to surveillance.
You purposely plugged me in
Suggesting a deliberate act of connecting to a monitoring system.
Measure your life in me
Encouraging measuring one's life in terms of surveillance or technology.
Slopes curving to the sky
Metaphorical imagery of life's journey with unknown destinations.
And for the life of me
Expressing confusion about the purpose or meaning of life.
I don’t know why
Reflecting on the uncertainty of existence.
In reality they’ll never let us be alone
Reiterating the lack of true privacy due to constant surveillance.
Stand back and you will see that everything’s a microphone
Emphasizing the ubiquity of surveillance technology.
Stay inside, shut the doors, stop speaking
Repeating the advice to stay silent and isolated.
Listen in till their ears are bleeding
Reinforcing the idea of pervasive monitoring and its consequences.
Information that we’re leaking
Reiterating the disclosure of sensitive information.
Turn it down
Insisting on reducing communication intensity or disclosure.
We will break communication come say your goodbyes
Announcing the end of communication and urging farewells.
The global execution of all working satellites
Describing a global shutdown of communication systems, possibly metaphorical.
We can’t trust anything is what you’ve always said to me
Echoing a lack of trust in any form of information or communication.
We’re now surrounded by a weapon of impurity
Describing an encroaching threat or impurity.
